Diesel oil changed specs ages ago to the newer CJ /CK oils that have lower allowable limits on zinc. They also aren't formulated for high rpm motors and have foaming issues. On top of that T6 shears down to a 30 weight oil in no time.
Any Euro spec oil is miles better than the standard US oil. It doesnt have to be anything fancy but you do want to see that oil meets BMW/Porche/VW/MB specifications. Euro oils have a higher standard in wear protection/oxidation/extended drain intervals and so on.... They dont have to conform...
To add to this, if you don't want do any mods you can use the rear brake lines from a 93 to 97 Honda Accord. It's bolt on and has the correct banjo end.https://www.rockauto.com/info/31/BA0731445-1__ra_m.jpg
Run rear outer brake lines from a 93-97 Honda accord to use 2g calipers in a 1g. It replaces the stock outer line with a banjo provision and its close to the same length.
If you use lotion before working on your car, it helps hydrate the dry skin and block some of the pores so the grease cant get absorbed. It makes washing off grease a million times easier. I also use Kresto and that stuff takes pretty much everything off.I know old timers that just use...
Funny because I also do woodworking and homebrewing. If you haven't already, get your fermentation temps under control and play with water chemistry. Those two have the biggest impact. Limiting cold side oxidation also is a big part but it seems like you guys are brewing malt forward beers so...
If you are using a stock ECU you need to retain the power side of the MPI relay as the ECU needs to control the power down in order to be able to modify/save any tunes/changes. If you are using an aftermarket ecu, it shouldnt matter.The fuel pump control can be run on a standalone switch if...
It'll be little bit quieter but it'll still be fine and not as bad as you think. The stock amp runs in parallel to the speakers, vs in series, so it's not completely necessary and would be similar to cars without the infinity amp option.
You guys must be pretty young if you don't know what that key is for. It's for a steering wheel lock. They were pretty common in the 90s to "prevent" car theft.
You don't need a special tool to adjust the tensioner pulley. Just use a prybar or long screwdriver against the water pump and pull up or down against the pulley to tension. Infact, I don't really find any of the timing belt tools that useful/necessary to be honest. Zip ties and a screwdriver...
Put the head on the side and fill the actual ports up with alcohol, not water. Then blow compresed air around the valves. Its a slightly better way of checking sealing besides using a vacuum plate.
RTM is amazing. I don't know how they do it, but I've gotten stuff faster from them then other vendors here in the states, which is crazy. You can always count on them for very unique products not found elsewhere.
Honestly its really not that serious of an issue if we run out of calipers. There are a plethora of them out there that can be made to fit with adapters/brackets. It just hasnt been fully explored yet.
Just buy any downpipe made for the stock 02 housing then have the flange cut and rewelded at your local muffler shop. Nobody makes that downpipe anymore.

That is the best way to do it. Always remote mount when you can. Prevents fitting from breaking off and the sensors live much longer being away from vibration.
I can't really think of anything else. If the ECU can override and turn on the fans it should also be able to control the fans. Perhaps update the firmware and the software if you haven't already.
Is the oil cap face on the valve cover bare metal or powder coated too? I've seen amateur powder coaters not mask that area off before and it will cause issues.
You definitely need to do a head gasket job and resurface the head. You most likely warped it since you let it overheated several times. Tightening down the head bolts isn't going to do anything but stretch them.
The he351 is just an hy35 with an hx40 compressor wheel. You could look at people running a hx40/35 for "similar" results. At the end, you'd be limited by the small turbine and 9cm housing.I can't say I've ever seen anyone truely max out an upgraded turbolab hx40, on this platform or others...
The cam gears are no longer available so you have to go adjustable. I would also check to make sure the block has provisions for a knock sensor. Sometimes it's there, if not, drill and tap that before you put the motor in.
The stock gauge is more then adequate to judge if a car is over heating or not. Even though it's a broad range and not linear it's pretty easy to see that when it's in the hot zone coolant temps are usually around 220-230°. This is universal to all cars.
Overheating at idle leads me to believe the fans arent working or atleast one isnt(if A/C is ON). The car doesnt rely on the fans when at speed. However you said they are working so it leads me to believe you have cheap shitty fans.
Anything above 1200cc and it becomes an issue/headache. You need to fix your wideband or buy a new one if your still using that cheap crappy glowshift one. You cant adjust or do anything until you have a working/logging wideband.Get a new wideband. Put the car back into closed loop and do...
No matter what you do they will never idle correctly. That's the issue with big low impedance injectors. I'm sure someone on FB already told you about that.You really need a fic easy tune or something similar to run those injectors or move on to high impedance.
If you're building a chassis harness from scratch you need to start with a relay/distribution box first. Once you have your relay box you can branch out the power you need for all the components you plan on running. Running lights, brake, headlights, turn signals... Etc. It's pretty...
All I'm basically get from that is, im getting my money back and mostly likely getting a free intercooler to keep or sell at the end of all this. Cool. When this is all over an done I'll give you $60 for the intercooler.
Problem is they are not obligated to send you a paid shipping label. You giving an ultimatum of free return shipping or you're not getting the item back is not is not exactly offering to return it. All VRSF has to do is send their terms and conditions to your bank and they could easily deny...
